I might disagree with some people on here about transgender stuff, but please nobody go off the deep end the way he has

There is a significant body of scientific research on hand-eye co-ordination differences between males and females. The 'no physical exertion' argument is both irrelevant and wrong.

He was the writer for father ted, the it crowd and black books. Somewhere along the line he became quite a trendy big name of the metropolitan elite of sorts and got addicted to twitter. after that he got involved in the transgender part of the culture war and it's totally destroyed his life. I think what happened was somebody criticised the bit where the boss in IT Crowd goes to bed with a transgender woman after mishearing her say that she was a man, he thought she was Iran. Well having had his ego pumped up from all the fawning wankers that go wild for the metro elite he totally went off the boil and it became his new obsession. The trans lobby were hereafter out to get him.

These days From waking up in the morning to going to bed on an evening he's on either twitter. mumsnet or substack writing about transgender people compulsively. He has in essence had a breakdown. Now totally obsessed with it apparently ruined many friendships and job opportunities because of his baggage and inability to not bring up transgender people.

Indeed he is, but Deadshot's description of events involving him is accurate.
